We’d like to thank Digiarty, makers of MacX DVD Ripper Pro, for sponsoring 9to5Mac today. They’re offering a Thanksgiving giveaway of 10,000 free licenses for MacX DVD Ripper Pro, one of the fastest Mac DVD ripper apps we’ve found. They’re also offering a limited-availability Black Friday deal on their MacX Media Management suite with less than 200 copies remaining as of the time of this post.

MacX DVD Ripper Pro uses your Mac’s GPU to do hardware encoding by default. This means your CPU – and system fans – stay calm and collected while the rip is happening, unlike Handbrake where everything is maxed out. Speed-wise this helps and, in the tests we’ve done, MacX DVD Ripper Pro bests Handbrake for Mac every single time. Here are a few results:

As you can see, MacX DVD Ripper Pro even rips damaged or otherwise intentionally-unrippable DVDs that stop Handbrake in its tracks. This includes those pesky 99-title DVDs, recently-released movies, and workout DVDs that are generally built to be unrippable. You bought the DVD, now you want to rip the DVD to MP4 to have the freedom to play it back on your iPad while you travel. Mac X DVD Ripper Pro is the Mac DVD Ripper that will make this happen.

Plus, MacX DVD Ripper Pro is a signed app, so you don’t have to set your Mac to allow an exception like you would with Handbrake Mac.

With a free license available, MacX DVD Ripper Pro is an excellent tool to have in your DVD ripping arsenal. Get it now, before they’re gone!

Having easily-selectable output formats is important, and MacX DVD Ripper Pro has a very comprehensive and exhaustive list of supported formats. Video formats and containers include MP4, H.264, MOV, M4V, HEVC, QT, AVI, MPEG, FLV, MKV, M4V, MTS, M2TS, ISO images, and more. Audio formats include MP3, AAC, and AC3, ensuring you’re able to make a movie that’s compatible with all your devices.

MacX DVD Ripper Pro is a tool we keep installed on our Macs as a Handbrake alternative and now you’re able to do the same for free.
